4 d. ago I’m a teenager who was lured into the manosphere. Here’s how to reach young men like me | Josh Sargent

Masculinity is almost always presented as toxic on my feed – but we need constructive alternatives to give hope to those who feel lostIf you judged modern boyhood from the headlines, you’d think we were broken – radicalised, misogynistic, angry. But as a teenage boy myself, I don’t see a generation of lost boys around me. I see young men trying to make sense of a world that seems apathetic to our voices.I’d be the first to admit that there are serious issues facing young men my age – I’ve experienced some of them first-hand. Between the ages of 12 and 14, I was drawn into harmful online communities promising me money, meaning and manhood. Muscular, wealthy men, parading through Dubai draped in designer labels and flanked by beautiful women flooded my feed. They said there was no excuse for the rest of us not to be in their position too, and offered what they claimed was a blueprint to get us there. Misogyny was rife in these communities, as was political extremism.Josh Sargent is a ...

4 w. ago The Decadence by Leon Craig review – queer haunted house tale fails to chill

Privileged university friends retreat to the countryside, in a gothic novel mostly made up of vibesIn many ways I am the ideal reader for this queer haunted house novel from the author of the 2022 short-story collection Parallel Hells. As a teenager I was a passionate fan of gothic literature; I love a haunted house novel, and believe The Little Stranger, Sarah Waters’s masterpiece of the genre, is yet to be bettered. It’s an admiration that Leon Craig shares. She also cites Donna Tartt’s The Secret History as an influence, which gives some clue to the setup that greets the reader in The Decadence. Namely, privileged university friends retreat to a haunted country house – inherited, naturally, by one of the group – to indulge in an array of illegal substances and sexual configurations. Bring it on, I thought.But though I tried very much to care about them, the twists and turns in the characters’ relationships did not make much of an impre...

last month The Pushkin job: unmasking the thieves behind an international rare books heist

Between 2022 and 2023, as many as 170 rare and valuable editions of Russian classics were stolen from libraries across Europe. Were the thieves merely low-level opportunists, or were bigger forces at work?On 16 October 2023, a young man and woman sat down in the back row of the second-floor reading room of the university library of Warsaw, Poland. Their reading cards carried the names Sylvena Hildegard and Marko Oravec. On the desk in front of them were eight books with yellowing pages that they had ordered up from the library’s closed-storage 19th-century collection: rare editions of classic works of poetry, drama and fiction by two greats of the Russian canon, Alexander Pushkin and Nikolai Gogol. They studied the books closely, taking photographs on their phones and measurements with rulers.When the duo did not return from a cigarette break and the invigilators checked their desk, they found that five of the eight books had gone. One of the missing Pushkin works was a narrative po...
